"Small Is Still Beautiful"
Conventional economic growth has lifted billions out of poverty, but in the process caused grievous damage to the biosphere on which we all depend, asset-stripping the soil, forests, and oceans.
The obsession with ever-greater conventional growth is eating the foundations of our only home.
The challenge now is to see if we can find an economic system that can support both humanity and the needs of our living planet.

New report uncovers tragic scale of climate-led crisis and forecasts up to 34,000 more deaths so far this yearTracy McVeigh (The Guardian)
Here’s the most important take home:
There are *still* so many feasible & effective opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions & adapt to #climatechange available right now.
Climate solutions will improve #food, energy & water security, benefit global health, promote equity, conserve biodiversity & boost the economy.

"manure applied to soils has, on average, nearly double the emissions of synthetic fertilisers."
